This is not always the case, however - certain monocots do have nectaries. + Vascular Tissue: Vascular tissue in monocot stems is scattered randomly, while in dicots it is organized in a ring. + Root System: Monocots usually possess a fibrous root system, whereas dicots typically have a singular main root known as a taproot with many minor lateral roots branching off from it. + Leaf Venation: Monocot leaves usually show parallel venation (the veins run alongside each other from the base to the leaf apex), while dicots exhibit net or reticulate venation (the veins branch and rebranch within the blade). + Pollen Grains: The pollen grains of monocots have one furrow or pore, so they are monosulcate. On the other hand, the pollen grains of dicots mostly have three pores or furrows and are thus tricolpate. ge India’s #1 Learning Platform Cer ye Sila medal Mae Cle 1 Cel) PO raed Terao Exe ia resol D> Download App (eresQuestion 2: View this Question Online > Purple top roll is a disease of 1.
